Sleeping Satellite - Karnivool

wooo best cover ever

[@yeleikdaags]

The real magic of this track is that they managed to completely change the style and feel of the original. There's hundreds of covers out there... most just re-doing the original. However once in a while, you get a band who can completely change a song and adapt it to their own style. (A Perfect Circle did it with Imagine) and Karnivool have done it with this one. If you haven't already, make sure you also check out their cover of "The only way" by Gotye.

Since I was 14 this takes me to a special place an always will so thanks for the immortal pictures

[@chamaileon81]

I believe that Mark needs to do more singing, he nailed this one. P.S. Far better than the original, which is great by the way.

[@nicolekhocking]

amazing version, and mark has a pretty awesome voice as well. he and Kenny should share the vocals around. f...n awesome

[@GhANeC]

+nicole hocking mark sings all the time, and his back vocals complete the songs mastefully. he just didnt start the band, or compose lyrics, or conceptualizes the vocal melodies like kenny does

[@ashcook123]

I asked them loads of questions and they laughed about this but were adamant that Ian did not provide any vocals on this track. They toured the UK and I am president of the University of the West of England Live Music Society and interviewed them for our online magazine. :-)

[@Darkaz84]

Gave me shivers. So goood.

[@SlappaDeBassMon]

Man Mark Hosking has a wonderful rock voice. He sounds brilliant in the verses. And when Ian Kenney sings the backing bit in the second chorus, it just adds a new level to the song. One of the best covers I have heard, right up there with RHCP's Higher Ground and Tool's 21st Century Schizoid Man.

[@michaeljacobi]

goddamn this cover owns. this band owns.

[@dannyvool]

KARNIVOOL continue to show the world that they can do no wrong, everything they touch turns to gold, Hell.. they'll even rotate singers and pull off a pop/rock song if u dont mind haha luv ya kenny

[@TechAndi2]

wow never heard this cover love it and love the mighty Karnivool

[@SovCN]

Wow.. this song.. is incredible. I've been a huge karnivool fan for a long time and I've never even heard of them doing this song.. LOVE IT! :)

[@SazTheLegendOfDragon]

Awesome band!!!

[@TheMatadrum]

Why have I not heard this song before?????????? I like it.

[@TroyWright]

Mark does an absolute amazing job here but get Kenny singing as well on it and lets hear a new version on the third album!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Teskue]

Awesome song, this band rocks!

[@dundermuffin90]

[@Shevness07]

[@Teskue]

[@Pinklatex]

This is a great cover, I love this song.

[@TheProggirl]

Excellent cover! It rocks!

[@andiecrowe10]

best cover ever. karnivool rocks my world!

[@ankachick]

seriously, better than the original. And I love the pics you have to go with the song. Thank you.

[@julie13roses]

Absolutely love this song.... not on their albums wish it was!!!

[@pancakemix88]

as soon as the first word was sung i loved it.

[@SIOGO83]

Verdaderamente está buenísimo este cover! excelente!

[@beziko]

This is absolutely 100% awesome.

[@trapper439]

That was awesome.

[@espalexi666]

Mark has an awesome voice, The only reason he doesn`t sing its cause of Ian`s angel voice i still hope they have some duets in the new album.

[@catiapalombini5605]

Bravo, beautiful sound!

[@designed2play]

Sleeping Satellite", which has guitarist Mark Hosking on vocals, from karnivool!!!!

[@shihadrocks]

nicely put together slideshow my man. Very nice.

[@W00TANG]

gotta love Karnivool, they covered this song well...

[@thatsFlorian]

Well done, one of the best covers ever! It's much better than the original song!

[@Thewileyjoker1331]

I love you all!! Especially the moon

[@ignaciocalvo3008]

This is just PLAIN AWESOME.... Heard it like a month ago, but never commented, please know you are my new ringtone. Jajajaja not much, but its something!

[@highlands]

Being British I vaguely remember the original, I was 5 I think. The horror.....the horror TBF the originals not that bad but not really something I would normally listen to. I can only really say that covering it really was a stroke of genius by Karnivool. It shows a depth in style, versatility, creativity and influences that a lot of bands these days don't have.

[@joredian]

yeahhhhhhhhhhhh¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ great

[@lifer11]

'am used to the Tazmin Archer version but i must say this version ROCKS!!!!

[@stixmusician]

great cover, and guys if you dont think its karnivool, listen to the harmonies at the end of the song, its Ian Kenny

[@itzjustnoize]

@EDCvideos Yes it is! God, look it up in their wiki for one. They did a cover, and the only reason it sounds different is because Ian isnt singing. He is playing guitar.

[@aRCHeoST]

awesome cover... 5*

[@systemfirez]

fantastic cover, hoss does a great job!

[@Wenautia]

This is Sparta!!!

[@surj69]

this song is gold when you know the original

[@dragon2712]

I actually loved Tasmin's song when I was a kid. Found it really haunting. Needless to say, hearing this was like having an ear orgasm...the only disappointing thing is I'm yet to hear it live.

[@dragon2712]

@andiecrowe10 sif! The original rocks, it was one of my favourite songs growing up. Which is why I love this so much.

[@Mortiferion]

Wooooooo this is incredible =o

[@yeleikdaags]

Yep, its definitely Mark on vocs. It's a great cover. The original is by Tasmin Archer.

[@MELKAI4]

EXELENTE CANCION

[@Subcide]

It was a B-side on the Themata single in 2005

[@jimmysando99]

@nixmixs Its Mark Hosking mate, usually does on guitar backing vocals but perfect for this song I reckon... sounds awesome!

[@highlands]

It's the 'B-side' to the Themata single. Mark Hosking on vocals apparently.

[@KeeadoMovie]

So much better than the original

[@drewblake9623]

this somg was only released on themata single. unfortunately for some it is not in print anymore.

[@metalloulou]

It is Karnivool, it's just not Ian who is singing, it's mark and he's got a pretty nice voice himself....I think you can hear Ian at the end doing some backing vocals but I'm not sure. These guys are just great. I'm a girl and I'm a big Karnivool fan

[@LilMooCow]

They're touring at London Islington Academy in October...I wanna go! And Forever Never supporting too!!

[@forfuckssakewhatis]

@lucidavidity yeah theyre doing SXSW. be sure to buy the lads a beer if you see them, theyre awesome nice guys ;) (like most Perth people!)

[@wickysoldier]

Its the guitarest singing the main lyrics. But all the back up stuff is Ian Kennys awesome work

[@jimmysando99]

@Mullineux1 this needs to be on youtube live! love it

[@jseebold100]

I loved Tasmin Archer's original, but I'm a Progressive-Metal fan... this is AWESOME!!! Thanks a lot for posting!!!:D

[@dragon2712]

better with Ian singing? I don't think so, for several reasons. It really matches Mark's voice, he's got a completely different vocal style to Ian - a bit more edgy, less clean, and he can push it a bit more. Also, it give us Vooligans an appreciation for the talent of the man, who's not only an awesome guitarist, but more than good enough to front his own band as a vocalist if he wished to.

[@FrydMichaels]

I blame you for the moonlit sky And the dream that died With the eagles' flights I blame you for the moonlit nights When I wonder why Are the seas still dry Don't blame this sleeping satellite Did we fly to the moon too soon? Did we squander the chance? In the rush of the race The reason we chase is lost in romance And still we try To justify the waste For a taste of man's greatest adventure I blame you for the moonlit sky And the dream that died With the eagles' flights I blame you for the moonlit nights When I wonder why Are the seas still dry Don't blame this sleeping satellite Have we got what it takes to advance? Have we peaked too soon? If the world is so great Then why does it scream under a blue moon? We wonder why If the earth's sacrificed For the price of its greatest treasure I blame you for the moonlit sky And the dream that died With the eagles' flights I blame you for the moonlit nights When I wonder why Are the seas still dry Don't blame this sleeping satellite And when we shoot for the stars What a giant step Have we got what it takes To carry the weight of this concept? Or pass it by Like a shot in the dark Miss the mark with a sense of adventure I blame you sleeping satellite I blame you for the moonlit sky And the dream that died With the eagles' flights I blame you for the moonlit nights When I wonder why Are the seas still dry Don't blame this sleeping satellite Don't blame this sleeping satellite

[@Kotakk]

GREAT PICTURES BTW :-)

[@RMPeteritis]

If this really is...then I love them even more.

[@svbassist]

Hoss does backup vocals live on most of Karnivools songs.

[@J-2twenty2]

WORD ITS KARNIVOOL!!!!

[@johnthefisherman66]

download youtube downloader, you can download any youtube vid then convert it to any file you want, so you can download just the song and not the video, or the whole video

[@jimmysando99]

@jarbymetal666 Yeah it is, just not Ian Kenny singing... Its Mark Hosking, one of their guitarists

[@drock2121]

Hey Mark you should pump this song people love it.

[@eatmynoodle]

the song was used as an introduction to the Hoss.... its a show of what hes got... and fuck does he have alot..

[@EDCband]

@andiecrowe10 Yes, I was wrong, I heard the vocals and couldn't believe that was karnivool, Apperson told that mark was lead vocals in this song sorry about it

[@woomph]

Amazing, just fucking amazing!!!

[@lilaznkami]

@klearlykahmerican the original artist's name is tasmin archer. and YES... amazing cover! loove hosking...

[@Senninha1960]

Loving Mark Hoskings voice! Awesome :D

[@lucas010888]

I for one think Karnivool have to play this song live. I would, for use of a better phrase "lose my shit" if they pulled this one live. Such an amazing cover that only they (albeit Hoss and Goddard) could pull off.

[@yeleikdaags]

An album like DEA is too complex for most people to appreciate. It attracts certain people who take their music pretty seriously. There's even a lot of metal fans who find Meshuggah too difficult to listen to...That's why they're kind of a 'cult' band.... lots of people haven't even heard of them... but the ones who like them worship them.

[@dominogirl2094]

@jGeZsAs I was wondering the same thing- it's not available on itunes?! Frustrating!

[@Wenautia]

Does anybody know where I can get this B-Side? I have searched and I can't find anything. If someone does know can you send me a mesage?

[@ronjoe1]

which texas show will you be at? I'll be playing with them

[@ThyMate]

@Pieman09thepivotguy He didn't say it was Ian, he said it was because of the type of instrumentation he recognized the band. To me it doesn't sound like you're that big of a fan if you dont got their first album. It's like claiming you're the biggest metallica fan and never heard "Enter Sandman" or "Master of Puppets" and say, "errr this does'nt sound like a song Metallica would do"

[@andiecrowe10]

This is totally Karnivool. Just listen to the harmonies at the end. Its just not Ian singing, Its Mark. Karnivool covered this song when Ian went to go record for Birds ot tokyo. The facts are all there. Check it out for yourself.

[@jimmysando99]

Mark Hoskings voice good enough to be the front man of alot of high key bands, let alone Ian Kennys! Good stuff boys!!!

[@Chargd99]

anyone know where i can download this?

[@techfxn]

Sorry to say this, but for me personally, this is far better than the original :P Same goes for Perfect Circle Imagine! There, I said it

[@Unforgivenfilms]

They only have one album, Themata,i do reccomend it. But if you've only heard this song, the rest of their stuff is a bit different, Ian Kenny the vocalist isnt singing on this one.

[@wolf54153]

@dragon2712 Kudos to your use of "Vooligans"!

[@frances89cash]

yeah!

[@samboyaus]

wow i didn't realise hoss had such a good voice. they could use him more on the albums, wuld provide some interesting contrast to kenny's voice.

[@stixmusician]

sounded just like him at the end, but okay if you say so. how'd you get the chance to interview them?

[@Pyro1015]

really doesnt know what to think, is it Karnivool or not? I wish it was cause wow this song is pretty good

[@cdh1978]

shit hot. another fukn awesome aussie band

[@F9ER]

@vampgm any other songs he sings in?

[@dannyvool]

was this released onto CD??? and what one lol

[@hajajseksi]

This is one of the covers I like better than original

[@earcandy]

Nope. They can't, indeed. Whether in the studio or on stage, they manage to nail amazing songs. 'Themata' is a flawless piece of art, just like Meshuggah's 'D.E.A.' was, back in 1995. The thing I don't get is WHY both did not immediately burst into the music scene ? I ask, why ?

[@Flaw55]

thats not karnivool. but its still AWESOME! what is the bands name?

[@jclp81]

how can i get this? ive looked everywhere
